Japanese Rock Band 'Uchuu sentai NOIZ' Covers Narda by Kamikazee

Japanese rock band Uchusentai NOIZ uploaded a cover of the hit rock anthem Narda by Kamikazee a month before their scheduled Philippine tour on September.

Uchuu sentai Noiz is a visual kei rock band from Japan known for their energetic music and stage antics, very much like our Kamikazee except that these boys play on wild cosplay-like outfits. Their music is very eclectic and has many different elements from genres such as punk, pop, metal, hip-hop and electronica.

Since the band's conception in 1999, Uchuu sentai NOIZ has already released 6 albums and performed at   several gigs in the US.

This September 7-9, Uchuu sentai NOIZ is slated to perform in Davao City. They will also invade Manila this September 15-16, performing live at the Function room 4 and 5 of the SMX Convention Center, MOA Complex in Pasay City.
